To measure the institutionalization level of ISO 9000 certification, we marked down the earliest year of the plant's quality management certificate.
Alternatively, if the purpose of M&E is to help hold key stakeholders, such as donors and local counterparts, accountable for what happens post-transition, then the focus of M&E may be on measures of institutionalization and service outcomes.
3. What is the relationship between the results when the SCPD was carried out as planned and the outcome measures of institutionalization, time to institutionalization, and the quality of the caregivers' lives? 4. What are the professionals' obstacles and facilitators for carrying out the SCPD as planned?
We will use Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to quantify the effect of the SCPD on the primary outcome measure, time to institutionalization; and a Cox proportional hazard model, to correct for control variables.
Secondary: Hospital and short-term nursing home length of stay (LOS); institutionalization, measured by institutional residence rate; death; and costs of rehabilitation and care.
The LoIn scales measure 15 aspects of institutionalization related to project production (e.g. written project goals, evaluation), project maintenance (e.g. permanent staff), project support (e.g. permanent funding), and managerial aspects (e.g. supervision).
Other secondary outcome variables were hospital and short-term nursing home LOS, institutionalization as measured by institutional residence rate, and mortality during 18 months after the rehabilitation.
We will calculate the effect of the SCPD on the primary outcome measure (the number of institutionalizations) with Fisher's exact test.
In case that a patient dies or will be institutionalized, length of time to death or institutionalization, respectively, will be measured.
